"Uo the Class of 1900: 

When the Class Committee started to prepare this 
book, it was hoped that the members of the Class would 
be glad to help them by furnishing the necessary infor- 
mation about themselves, especially as everything was 
furnished in order to make it easy for them to send 
in this information. 

The Committee regrets exceedingly that it has not 
been able to publish the history of all the men who 
received degrees, but it has done everything within 
reason to get the members to reply. It is not the 
fault of the Committee that some men's names ap- 
pear with no news under them. 

On the other hand, the Committee wishes to thank 
those who have replied to its notices and have contrib- 
uted to the cost of publication. If the information is 
not correct, the Committee is very sorry, and hopes that 
the members will keep it posted so that the next edition 
will be more correct.

ikan, Alaska, a large store and market in Lynn, 
Mass., and a $500,000 wood storehouse in Charles-

Warren says, * * belong to no clubs because I am 
not a bachelor. ' ' 

Has written one book, a Handbook on Rein- 
forced Concrete^ and several articles in newspapers 
and magazines on reinforced concrete and engineer- 
ing work. 



98 FIRST DECENNIAL RECORD 

Warren writes: '*In my professional career I 
have made a special study of reinforced concrete 
and its application to construction purposes and 
have carried out several tests with the above aim in 
view. Some of these tests have been published, a 
large amount of data is on hand to be compiled with 
future data expected to materialize. 

"The conclusion drawn from this particular in- 
vestigation, as well as from others in different lines, 
is that each man, especially each engineer, has a 
right of opinion, notwithstanding the fact that our 
preparatory education may have given the impres- 
sion that engineering may be likened to an axiom 
(a self-evident truth). Each man makes his own 
engineering. It cannot be derived from text-books 
entirely. Moral : Get busy after you graduate— 
forgetting what you cannot apply and digging for 
what you need. ' '

Laura E. Wentworth ) Tech Triplets 

Wentworth has been trying to keep the pot 
boiling by doing drafting for the Navy Department 
and others. He has invested his spare time and 
money in obtaining and developing crude oil engine 
patents. One of his most promising inventions 
pertains to the railroads. Wentworth thinks he 
can develop a sort of automobile locomotive com- 
bining the efficiency of automobile with the reli- 
ability of the steam locomotive. Crude oil would

Wisdom and Wit 

From Some Live Ones of 1900 

John F. Wentworth : — "I knew nothing when I 
graduated and knew it well. I thought I had learned a 
little by being out and getting up against the real thing. 
Some time ago I applied for a chance in the Eng. Lab. 
and was informed that I was of less use than when I 
graduated. Please help me to locate myself and find 
out where I am, where I am going, and if I can get 
there sooner by turning around." 

Arthur C. Melcher:— Hobby, ''Girls and house- 
work, and nursing on the side." 

C. Van Merrick :— *1 find just two classes of men 
in business, the first who try to do the right thing 
whether they are watched or not, the others who intend 
not to do the right thing in either case ; and I think 
that all Tech men are in the former class." 

T. F.Reardon : — ''To date I have not been repaid 
in a monetary manner for the great expenditure of 
money and energy necessary to land an S. B. Things 
come too quickly and the transition from student life to 
that of a man of the world I found too sudden. Per- 
haps I am more boyish than the average, but I am at 
present very pessimistic about the Institute, as every- 
where I find men with no college education earning 
much more than college men, and this is discouraging. 
I find all the large companies ignoring college training 
and entrusting their work as far as possible to untrained 



108 FIRST DECENNIAL RECORD 

men. Lack of business training is a sad drawback for 
our grads— and I for one detest commercialism and the 
greed which I see everywhere.'^ 

H. A. MacPherson :— **I have met all sorts from 
all colleges and believe the choice of a college not nearly 
as important as the choice of one's crowd in college." 

Wm. H. Wedlock :—' 'The only books I have writ- 
ten have been * Examination Books ' while at Tech. 
''Hobby :— Trying to get more money. " 

A. S. Merrill :— I think the old 1900 yell queered 
the class ; it was like a can tied to a dog's tail." 



'00 Messages to Pres. MacLaurin 

' * Make those loafers work, especially help them to 
get summer work in the industries they expect to work 
in after graduation. It is terribly hard to get started 
right after graduation. Visit the classes. Give the 
men more college life. '^ 

''Carry on the good work of President Henry S. 
Pritchett along lines of social betterment and broaden- 
ing of Tech student life and work out for Tech the 
excellent ideals of Professor A. A. Noyes for the future 
M. I. T. as described in Tech Review, 1905." 

"Catch a millionaire that can be separated from 
his pile." 

* * Boost Tech. Pay the teaching staff better sala- 
ries so as to keep the good men. I deplore highly the 
loss of such men as Clifford and Swain." 

' * My heartiest approbation and my sincere desire to 
be called on to help when I can on his work. ^ ' 

' * The special student is like ' a Man without a Coun- 
try, ' give him a country. ' ' 

' ' Get Tech out of the city. ' ' 

"To keep always before himself the idea of making 



no FIRST DECENNIAL RECORD 

Tech the best of its kind in everything. Have Tech 
men realize the value of being able to write and speak 
good English." 

' * Dropping v^ater v^ill v^ear away a stone, and but- 
ting a man often will open his pocket-book." 



What is the Matter with 1 900? 

"No good organizers on the job. Not well enough 
acquainted with one another. Not enough class spirit. ' ' 

" They will be heard from and are 0. K.*' 

"Don't know. The individual men of 1900 are as 
good as any, though as a bunch they don't seem to be in- 
terested to act together. Guess they need some different 
kind of teatment. Would suggest the committee set 
one of those new-fangled Psychologists onto the 
problem. ' ' 

" Taking life too seriously." 

"All right. Wish I could see more of the fellows. " 

Lack of team work in connection with class and 
Tech work." 

" Too busy making a Hving to attend reunions and 
mid-week lunches in Boston. Members must be kept 
in touch with each other by a better class organization 
to keep the class spirit alive. A semi-annual bulletin 
mailed to each member would be a good starter. If it 
is gotten out right expenses would be gladly met, and it 
would be appreciated. , Would suggest that assistant 
secretary be appointed for each course to co-operate 
with ' home ' secretary, such assistant secretaries to be 
located throughout the country, outside of Boston, and 
preferably outside of New England." 



112 FIRST DECENNIAL RECORD 

** We're a lot of dead ones. " 

"A little of everything. The present governing 
body is to be commended on their unselfish devotion to 
an almost hopeless cause. ' ' 

''Nothing. Some members seem to lack interest, 
which goes back to Institute days, but this would dis- 
appear if the bunch could attend a reunion." 

''They were so busy getting through Tech they 
never had time to get sufficiently well acquainted to 
muster a first class spirit of unity and fellowship." 

' ' Too many ciphers in it. Some good fellows, how- 
ever, if they will only get together." 

"Been asleep. Just waking up. " 

"I don't think anything is the matter with the 
class ; must be the methods used to bring the class 
together. Am sure that if the class can be appealed to 
once in the right way that it can be welded into as 
strong a class organization as any. ' ' 

"I refuse to bite." 

"The matter is this :— That with the exception of a 
few true sports like the men who are trying to push 
this Decennial affair, the crowd is not worth a thing as 
far as class spirit goes and I am one of them. The 



M. I. T. -CLASS 1900 113 

reason is this— that the men never had a chance to play 
together, they merely worked and what is the use of 
trying to arouse others by recalling exciting scenes and 
incidents in the drawing or class room. Such associa- 
tions don't foster intimacy among men. They must 
have hved together for that,— and there is your big day 
school. ' ' 

"Every 1900 man I talk to seems to beUeve there is 
something wrong. We never seem to develop a real 
class spirit. " 

' * Selfishness, coupled with lack of broadminded- 
ness. The latter prevents them from being grateful to 
their Alma Mater, and fosters a fake dignity that puts 
class reunions, etc., as childish. As 1900 men grow 
older and more cultivated they will recognize the value 
of early friendships and the spirit of classmates.'' 

"The heart of 1900 is all right if we can only get 
in through the dead wood."
